The @csinstituteaz was honored to launch the Jim Kolbe Free Enterprise Fellowship in Tucson alongside friends and family of Jim Kolbe.
Ted Maxwell, SALC CEO, and @csinstituteaz Board Member, shared opening remarks about the legacy of Jim Kolbe and the purpose of the fellowship.
Rep. Ciscomani shared more about Jim Kolbe’s legacy and how it inspires him as a legislator to serve the Southern Arizona community.
Much like Jim Kolbe’s commitment to working across the aisle, former U.S. Senator and retired Col. @marthamcsally talked about how she was inspired to do the same as a lawmaker and as a servicemember.
Our inaugural fellow, Julie Katsel, accepts the fellowship. We are excited to see her carry on Jim’s legacy of public service.

COMMON SENSE INSTITUTE ARIZONA’S MISSION
CSI Arizona’s mission is to examine the fiscal impacts of policies, initiatives, and proposed laws so that residents are educated and informed on issues impacting their lives. Common Sense Institute was founded in 2010 originally as Common Sense Policy Roundtable in Colorado. CSI’s founders were a concerned group of business and community leaders who observed that divisive partisanship was overwhelming policymaking and believed that sound economic analysis could help residents make fact-based and common sense decisions.
